Ventura man stabbed during Oxnard robbery

A 40-year old man from Ventura was leaving a liquor store/deli in the 1900 block of Ventura Road and had just entered his parked car soon after 10:15 p.m. when two men, 18 to 20 years old, approached him, police said. Armed with knives, the men demanded he give up his money. He gave them about $15, police said. The robbers then demanded other property and when the victim hesitated, they stabbed him before fleeing on foot east toward an alley, police said.

The victim's injuries were described as moderate to serious. He was treated at Ventura County Medical Center, where he was stable, police said.
